Information Television Network (iTV)
Founded in 1992, Information Television Network, a full service television and entertainment production company, specializes in producing original programming. iTV's distribution includes Public Television and the Discovery Health Channel. iTV has produced more than 250 half hours of health and technology documentaries and has consistently been recognized for its excellence with prestigious industry awards including Emmy, Freddies, Tellys, Auroras, Angels, Omnis and Gracies.

Programming focuses on major medical conditions and related information. Generally, programs feature patients and their stories to communicate important information and messages of hope to viewers.

This hope does not come at the expense of accuracy. Respected and credible authorities from some of the best facilities in the nation participate in the development and review of these programs.

When one's physical well-being is threatened by a medical condition, it is very frightening, not only for patient, but for everyone around them. iTV's goal is to go beyond creating entertaining television, helping people deal with their illness and lead better quality lives.
